After Sun Manting asked her doubts, she suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to ask this question. Yun Wan might be referring to a man like her brother, not her brother as a person.
When they first met in a video store, she thought Yunwan and Shen Yanli were a perfect match and even mistook them for a couple.
But unexpectedly, they were not lovers, but siblings in name only.
Then what she said just now was indeed somewhat offensive and impolite. What if Yun Wan didn’t mean what she thought?
Thinking of this, Sun Manting quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant..."
Zhou Yunwan took a sip of juice and waved her hand without any concern: "Why apologize? That's what I meant."
"Ah?" Hearing her say that, Sun Manting became more and more at a loss, with a puzzled look on her face: "What does that mean?"
Zhou Yunwan blinked her eyes and teased her with a smile: "Then what do you mean by that?"
Sun Manting was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She looked at her bright and unconcealed beautiful eyes and stammered, "I..."
...
...
Could it be that Yun Wan really meant what she thought to Shen Yanli?
Just when she was unsure of Yun Wan's true thoughts, two men with the rank of battalion commanders walked up to them one after another, greeted them gentlemanly, and then extended their hands in invitation.
"Two beautiful ladies, may I ask you to dance with me?"
When two beauties, chosen from thousands, appeared in the ballroom at the same time, almost all the men could not help but want to approach them and strike up a conversation with them. However, due to the two guards beside the beauties, they had to temporarily suppress their affectionate thoughts.
Brigade Commander Xing Maohui and Commander Shen's son, either one of them is a man they cannot surpass. They know this and naturally will not mess with their women.
But this only applies to the men who have seen the four people coming in together. The later ones don’t know this. How can they not feel itchy when they see two beauties without male companions?
Zhou Yunwan was about to answer Sun Manting's question when she was interrupted.
As the other party was the first one to approach them, she slowly raised her head with curiosity and expectation.
After taking a few glances, he couldn't help but lower his eyes in disappointment.
To be honest, the two of them looked pretty good, and their height was estimated to be over 1.8 meters, which was considered outstanding among ordinary people. However, compared with the top-notch Shen Yanli, they were far inferior.
Where there is a reference, there will be a sense of gap.
What's more, there are countless handsome men in the entertainment industry, and Zhou Yunwan can be said to be knowledgeable and experienced. Over time, ordinary men are simply not in her eyes.
Of course, she didn't think that Sun Manting, who was also a great beauty, would be interested in them.
The fact was just as she thought. When faced with the approaching, Sun Manting still looked uninterested. However, because she was not good at dealing with men, she could only hide her discomfort by drinking juice.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunwan frowned thoughtfully.
It was clearly her who asked to attend the dance, but after arriving, she seemed a little absent-minded the entire time. I don’t know if it was because she didn’t meet anyone she particularly liked, or if she had something on her mind…
Zhou Yunwan slowly collected her thoughts and politely declined: "Sorry, we just want to sit down and chat for a while."
The two men looked at each other. Although they felt sorry for the situation, they did not continue to pester the man.
After everyone left, Zhou Yunwan asked Sun Manting softly, "Manting, are you worried about something?"
Meeting her concerned look, Sun Manting was stunned. After hesitating for two seconds, she decided not to tell her about the troubles in her family and let her worry about them. It was too unlucky during the New Year.
So she pursed her lips and said, "It's okay. What could possibly happen to me? Hahaha, I just think this dance is more boring than I imagined."
At the end of the conversation, she awkwardly and stiffly changed the subject.
Seeing that she was hesitant to talk, Zhou Yunwan did not ask further questions, fearing that if she continued asking, she would accidentally invade her privacy. They had only known each other for a short time, and although they were compatible in all aspects, they still had to keep a sense of propriety so that their friendship would last.
At this time, the music in the hall changed, and many pairs of men and women rushed into the dance floor and started ballroom dancing.
The men who came to their table to chat up with them kept changing, and there were so many of them that she was too lazy to maintain her composure. She just smiled and waved her hands randomly as a polite refusal.
Zhou Yunwan supported her chin and sighed.
Alas, being too charming can be a mistake.
What about Shen Yanli?
The guy who told her so righteously at the beginning not to pay attention to men who approached her has disappeared now?
Little did they know that on the other side, someone was drinking one glass of wine after another without stopping.
Shen Yanli's narrow eyes were dark, and his usually calm face was faintly cold, staring at Zhou Yunwan's direction.
He really didn't know whether he should be happy that she listened to him and chased away the men who tried to chat him up, or whether he should be angry that she didn't hesitate to smile and smiled as beautifully as a flower at those men with bad intentions.
Such an inconspicuous corner has become the most popular place in the entire dance hall just because of her existence.
Is this reasonable?
He tightened his grip on the wine glass gradually, forcing himself to stand still and just watch instead of rushing over to interfere.
"What happened to him? Who pissed him off?"
Tan Yinghao, who rarely saw Chen Yanli out of control, nudged Xing Maohui, who came with him, with his elbow in disbelief, hoping that he could know some inside story. He was really curious.
"..." Xing Maohui took a sip of the wine in the glass and remained silent.
Could he say that it might be because he had just tentatively inquired about his sister that he acted like this?
Of course not.
But he could also understand Shen Yanli's reaction, if his brother was thinking about his sister, he would probably turn hostile as well.
But Tan Yinghao kept asking, and he got annoyed. He frowned and said, "Why don't you just ask him directly?"
Tan Yinghao sighed softly: "If I dare to ask, would I bother you?"
After these words were spoken, there was silence.
Tan Yinghao couldn't stand a dull moment. Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of Shen Yanli, he started a new topic: "By the way, I heard that the girl our professor Shen brought back from the remote mountain area is very pretty. You should have seen her, right? Is it true?"
He thought the parties were too boring, so every year he would show up in front of his boss and then slip away with a few good friends.
After the party, a lot of people in the army were talking about how there was a top beauty at the party, who was as beautiful as a fairy. Although this description was very old-fashioned, it immediately aroused his curiosity.
After some inquiries, he found out that the other party was actually the cheap sister that Shen Yanli brought back.
He had wanted to ask Shen Yanli from the beginning, but from the moment they met, the other party's expression was not very good. He naturally couldn't be stupid enough to offend him, so he could only ask Xing Maohui instead.
Xing Maohui watched the party from beginning to end, so he must know.
So he couldn't help but urge her again: "Why don't you speak? Are you mute?"
As he spoke, he didn't notice Xing Maohui's strange expression at all.
Xing Maohui noticed the cold gaze from Shen Yanli, and his fingers holding the wine glass paused. Tan Yinghao was so tactless, he was really talking about something that was not related to the topic!
"Get out of here! I'm going to the bathroom." Xing Maohui pushed Tan Yinghao away. If you can't afford to offend him, you can afford to avoid him!
Tan Yinghao stared at his back as he left and frowned speechlessly. What's wrong with this guy? Why do I feel like he doesn't bother to pay attention to him?
And when he turned around, Shen Yanli, who was sitting at the bar drinking just now, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
